The Downbeat on ninety seven one thefreaking oh check it out because they're sports
at seven. The Rangers are notgonna let the Cowboys steal their headlines.
They're just not. But also,I saw a lot of amazing things in

(00:20):
college and there's something that happened infootball that I think will make Danny proud.
And a mini one minute edition oftwo guys from the country just sitting
around and talking about the country.There were so many props used in college
football this weekend. I don't knowwhy. It makes me happy. That's
at seven scuttlebut seven thirty. Alot of awards were given out in the

(00:44):
Dallas Observer, many in this town, some involving our own, our very
own. But right now, let'sdo the most important thing in the world,
the draft of WHOA. Yesterday,I listened to the your other most

(01:27):
important thing in the world song,but I was listening to it and one
times five, one and a halftimes speed to you know, listen,
little faster, get to it banner. Amazing, maybe better than the slow
version. Cranked a little all inall everything still even let's speed it up
all the notes, hit at theright part and then just for for kicks.

(01:51):
I bumped it up to times tooto see what it sounds like.
Even better, good too, No, not better. The one point five
one was a little better, butit was like because looks like a real
musician made it, probably is theeverything. And Danny's voice actually said,
I still was in the right range. It's a little faster, made it
go up a little higher. Butwell, you know, also in a

(02:12):
bite sized TikTok world that we livein, that might be a good idea
to economize that a bit. Yeah, I don't know that was good.
I don't know that one would work. Maybe I'll check it out after the
show. Now, look, themost important thing in the world this week
we all know is the Ryder Cup. But we are not gonna do that

(02:32):

Oh? The golf bullies are sharpeningtheir tools, sharpening the flange of
our sand wedges. They're already talkingabout some rumored pairings. I read an

(02:55):
article about all the behind the scenesstuff that a captain has to deal with.
It's not just pairings, it's JustinThomas needs an ice tub. You
know what, Wyndham Clark is glutenfree. That's interesting. It was actually
really interesting. And they're like,oh, Zach Johnson, why are you
dealing with this? Like, Imean, they know me. They let

(03:16):
me know their requests and what thestuff they need is and then he just
you know, sprinkles it out tohis team. But they're going all the
way to their own. Man,we have dietary restrictions here. I thought
we were high maintenance. Yeah,they needed Justin Thomas, one of the
worst. Yeah, they eat onthere who shouldn't be on the team and

(06:45):
most things. Stomp the golf bullies. I'm not gonna no, no,
this is this is not gonna beadversarial at all. I genuine, genuinely
want to learn information from people whotruly care about this, because well,
we're gonna steal your green fee money. Okay, okay, So you guys
are making it, making it mean. I should not be mean. He

(07:06):
is He named it the golf bullies. I'm I'm inclusive. I'm like cut
donuts in your golf cart. Youknow what happens to bullies. They get
what's coming to them eventually, andmost most of the time, bullies motivation
is born out of deep insecurity,feeling like they're not good enough. Yeah.
So the first tea time is seventhirty five am, their time.

(07:29):
That twelve thirty anyways, baby,let's go. And the last tea time
is one ten pm their time.Let's go, So four does that be
done at nine, nine or tenam? That's gonna be awesome. It's
gonna be so good. And basicallyit's weird. It's not just golf like

(07:50):
you'll get some one on one onSunday action. It all gets knocked out
before football starts on Sunday too,Yeah, which, although Danny's Native Land
has a morning game on Sunday,if you like the Falcons and the Jaguars,
you can watch them on the DisneyPlus as they do a toy story
broadcast. Okay, we may needto talk about that. I thought you
were gonna say they're playing in London? Are I think they really are?

(08:11):
Yeah, and it's a toy storybroadcast in London, but it's on Disney
Plus. What the hell with realtime animated toy story characters that sort of
look like uh, Lawrence? It'swhatever, Trevor Lawrence and the actual players.
I don't know what to expect.Yeah, but I'm in when his

(08:31):
kickoff for this. I mean,if you're a real fan of the team,
you can watch it on ESPN Plusthat's the real one, but on
Disney Plus. No, no,no, I'm watching that one. What
time? The Toy Story Malcolm probablylove it? But this is Sunday,
Yeah, Sunday morning, maybe eightthirty our time? Actually yeah, eight
there, Malcolm will probably love that. I want to see if the little
when your dog, Yes, Slink, I'm gonna throws a pass. At

(08:54):
least make sure that I record it. I don't know if I have him
Sunday, they're gonna have t Rexas the wide receiver at the short arms.
That's Rex, Rex Ridley, justRex. My question is that there's
enough characters. Yeah, they figuredI don't really know what they're doing.
You know what, they can alwaysdo JJ for spares. They'll just make
make him into plastic army man versusWoody. Yes, army man. Bijan

(09:20):
light here, okay, Bijean lighthere, that's funny. Trevor once will
be Woody's bed. Oh who's thebad guy, Doug Peterson if you ask
me, But you know that's justme. I knew that I was doomed
when Malcolm started getting into toy storyand told me and his mom that he

(09:41):
likes sid Yeah, guy, ofcourse, and he is. He's the
kid that will walk through a livingroom and just see like something organized on
the table and just take his armand rake the whole thing off for no
reason that yes, you yell athim, No, yell at him,
going to crush his spirit? Everythingis Jinga is a creative spirit. Yeah,

(10:05):
but yes, but I mean it'shis stuff. I mean it's his
you know, it's his toys.But ill you know, because I like
organize all of his monster trucks andhe'll just go freight right, and you're
going to waste the time. Thatwas like Paul Rudd and wet hot American
summer scene. Either I don't,actually I don't. I wish I did,

(10:26):
I wish I did. I haven'tseen it. It's good fifteen years
ago. It's fun. So theyfound a body, uh, Sunday afternoon,
Like, this is five minutes fromwhere I live. This should not
be happening. What tell me more? Well? Tennyson has two golf courses.
They have Highlands and then you haveOld Tennyson Glenn, which is the

(10:48):
cheap one, not as good,not as well maintained. Okay, is
that the Samuel Boulevard one. They'retechnically right the glen and is closer to
the fire pit lands, Yes,for sure, although a couple of holes
of the Highlands do dip down there. But they they're all connected, right
and yeah they're yeah, they're thesame property. Yes, okay, yes,

(11:11):
okay, I'm just same clubhouse.You go in there and then you
know, just spurch to whichever thetwo courses you're playing both right there and
this is an East house for thosewho don't know where Tennyson is. Two
thirty Sunday, officers get the phonecall E get on out here, and
I'm sure the officers were pis becausethe Cowboys games that's starting an hour.
God getting the worker's gonna watch iton my phone in my car. And

(11:33):
then someone reported that they'd found thebody of a man. One guy said
he and two friends were playing tennisand glen when they found a man's body
forty yards away from the tea boxon hold two. Okay, so that's
right. Is that under the tunnelright with a train? Is there a
train that goes there is a tunnelto two, because you know hold one
when they send you off on backright and then hold two down you go,

(11:56):
you go through and you're on theother side, yeah, the dark
side. They did not see anysigns of blood or injury. George Palace
was there and he said, quote, I was about to tee off and
I saw this guy laying there,and I said, why is this guy
just laying out in the sun.They said the man only had one shoe
on, oh, Tyler beatis andhe was laying down with his hands behind

(12:24):
his head. Like the old ideathat that's comfortable. It's not really a
comfortable pose when you think about it. On your back. It's not that
I do it. It is prettycomfortable, but if you're laying down,
if you're putting pressure on it andlaying down all the way, the pressure
of your fat head gets on yourhands and makes your hands start to feel

(12:48):
weird. Think about it or justlet it slide go on. So then
they said they called out to theperson with one shoe on ying down,
hen's find their head. Look,guy just getting a nap in or something.
And they didn't move. So theygo up to him and they nudged

(13:09):
him, and then they didn't hearin response, and they're like, oh
craps. They call nine one one. One of them getting the golf court
runs back out of the clubhouse.There's a dead guy. There's that dead
guy. Now that's all the detailswe have out is of now, because
this is still a developing case.Detective Dick Shelle I immediately had a question

(13:31):
for you. Yeah, go ahead, I'm I have liked all the numbers
trickling down, beautiful mom, I'mtrying to sort this out. Hey,
what's going on? Here be nudgingthe body? Bad idea, right,
because I immediately puts you no,no, no, I don't think so.
I mean you're your top priority.There's to help the person, and
nudging them to find out if they'realive, and checking a pulse is certainly

(13:52):
well within an acceptable range of contactwith a mysterious body. Absolutely, you
nudge them with the fore iron,right, Look, yeah, you don't
have a print a less used iron. Sometimes first responders wear Payne Stewart pants.
That's right, that's right. Whattime of day is this? Well?
How many groups past this? Dude? Sounds to me like this.

(14:16):
The guy went in, Travis Matthew, what was he dressed as? Okay,
let me ask this as a guywho's out of town. What was
the weather like? Sunday? Hot? We set a freaking record, didn't
we? Was that Saturday? Yeah? It was one on one, either
Saturday or Sunday, Sunday, anhour before the Cowboys play one hundred degrees.
Let's be honest. I love TennysonLake Highlands. Tennyson Glenn is what

(14:41):
you go do if you are bargainbeen shopping for golf. Okay, maybe,
but it doesn't mean it wasn't itwas packed? I don't know it
was. There was tons of groupsthat went through there on a Sunday.
Did you say made it a lateseven day? He was in a heavily
traveled spot. Well was he justin the the open forty yards in the
tea box on the hole? Two? Is all the description we have.

(15:05):
So if it's what I'm thinking thatyou look for that tunnel and there's I
don't know if it's a train orsomething like a raised thing. So he
could have been in the shrubs ofthat, which means if someone was walking
on that train track I keep callingit that or whatever that thing is that
runs through the property and just dumpedthe body there. But how would it

(15:26):
have fallen into fingers interlocked behind thehead, relaxed pose. Yeah, I
don't know, but in that case, I can see maybe people missed it.
Could he have died from being toohot? He could have died from
a heart I mean, you don'teven know the age of this guy.
We don't know anything. He couldhave been a golfer that started feeling bad,
you know, because the heat islike manna, I'm gonna lie down,

(15:48):
just puts his hands behind his head, and then somehow something happens,
either as a stroke or a cardiacevent, and the next thing, you
know, because he said I'm fired. He said, I'm gonna take one
shoe off and then and chill.I mean, there's something which I thought
was Detective Shale. I thought itwas a little premature of you to start
creating, you know, the picturesof the victims and the suspects on your

(16:12):
white board behind you. There's justnot enough to shut up. I've never
been invited to shut up. I'dlike to invite you immediately to shut up.
I'd like to get your invitation inthe mail to shut up. Shut
up. Uh No, I thinkthat his question was about checking on the

(16:33):
person with a kick, you know, a little roll with your shoe,
hey buddy. And then yeah,you I think you can tell of a
sleeping body versus a dead a littlebit, you know, you can.
You have some internal tips I thinkthat make you believe what you believe.
And then I think you can checka pulse and you want some water,
lem me go, and you know, hand it to him or even splash

(16:56):
a little on him, like Imean, your your priorities to try to
help this person. I don't thinkyou're gonna skip to this is a dead
body very quickly. This guy's dead. Let's keep playing. Yeah, let's
go, You're up, Frank downone. Well, if we find out
more about this, we will letyou know, because we are your comedy
first responders. Absolutely here on thedownbeat, and that's not funny. You

(17:18):
when a guy who loses his life, I guess it is homeless, though,
I'm gonna say, well, that'swhy the outfit matters. The outfit
tells the whole story. If he'swearing a Forefathers shirt, he's definitely not.
If his Forefathers tucked in nice,then I think a golfer would be
our main, main objective. He'rea solo golfer out there trying to sneak

(17:41):
in nine or eighteen hotter than heexpected. I can totally see that we
need age attire. Was the shoelike completely missing? You know? He
said he was only wearing one shoe. Was the other shoe like close by?
Is there a nice new set ofp xgs nearby that? Yeah,
I'll just hang out of these.Because the fact that he had his hands
behind his head, that tells meone of two things. Either this guy

(18:04):
was not feeling well and lie down, or he was murdered and posed by
a serial killer who's still at large. Right, that's probably the first,
the relaxed, the relaxing killer.We'll break in once we find out the
relaxing sill and an assassin, mean assassin, You peacefully sleep, all

(18:32):
right? I like this. We'regonna crack this thing by ten am.
We'll crack it by ten hopefully.Coming up next though, Sports at seven.
